1.0.0 - 2025-02-03
- SAM2-based tissue segmentation finetuned on ~35,000 diverse WSI thumbnails
- Four-checkpoint pipeline architecture:
detect-tissue: tissue detection with mask visualizationsegment-and-get-coords: segmentation + patch coordinate extractionprocess: full pipeline with feature embedding--save-images: optional patch image export
- HDF5 output format with coordinates (
coords) and features (features/<encoder>) - Slide passport metadata in H5 files (vendor, MPP, staining info)
- Per-slide lock files for safe parallel job execution
- MPP override via CSV for slides with missing/incorrect metadata
- Natural image backbones: ResNet (18/34/50/101/152), ConvNeXt (tiny/small/base/large), ViT (B/L/H)
- DINOv2: small, base, large, giant
- DINOv3: vits16, vitb16, vitl16, vith16_plus, vit7b16 (+ SAT variants)
- Pathology encoders: UNI v1/v2, Phikon v1/v2, Virchow v1/v2, GigaPath, CHIEF-CTransPath, Midnight, OpenMidnight, MUSK, PathOrchestra, H-optimus-0/1, H0-mini, CONCH v1/v1.5, Hibou B/L
- Lunit models: ResNet50 (BT/SwAV/MoCov2), ViT-S (patch16/patch8 DINO)
- CLIP variants: RN50/101/50x4/50x16/50x64, ViT-B/L
